Roots! Every waterman should have body surfing gear in their quiver. These hand planes and a set of fins can turn even the most worthless surf into an epic afternoon, and when the surf actually turns on, you’ll find yourself tucked into parts of the wave that you just can’t find on surfboard. Available in a variety of shapes out of domestically grown Pawlonia (shown here) or out of reclaimed skate decks (check the Gallery).
